Concern over killing of Chinese man
THE government has voiced serious concerns after Japanese police shot dead a Chinese man.
Reports in the Japanese media said officers on patrol in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan, noticed two Chinese men behaving suspiciously last Friday afternoon.
Stopped by the police, the pair allegedly attempted to grab the officers’ guns, but the police shot one man in the stomach. He died shortly after arriving at hospital. The other man was arrested.
Sources with the Chinese Foreign Ministry said the government was closely monitoring the case.
Last Saturday, officials with the Consular Affairs Department of the Foreign Ministry lodged representations with the Japanese Embassy in China, and the Chinese Embassy to Japan has contacted the Japanese Foreign Ministry, noting the government’s serious concern.
Chinese officials have called for an immediate inquiry by Japanese authorities, keeping Chinese officials informed, to ascertain the truth and properly resolve the issue. – China Daily/Asia News Network
